Definition
Third-person singular present tense of bustle; moves or acts with purposeful energy and activity, or makes busy movements.
Etymology
From Middle Dutch 'bustelen' or Old Norse sources; the '-s' marks third-person singular in English present tense; the root carries the sense of 'to move about actively.'
Kelly Says
The verb 'bustle' pairs well with Victorian imagery because the era's rigid clothing actually required bustling—all those layers and structure meant movement had to be deliberate and visible.
